My parents and grandma prefer to give me cash as well. It's also my 30th this month so I was really lucky to get some money to spoil myself with as well. So board games, anime dvds and most likely a little splurge in the hotel chocolat that just opened in my town :o

DH is getting a Washington redskins hat, thunderbirds chess set to share with DS, avengers socks. He also chose this year's board game, Colt Express. And from aforementioned Christmas money I've chosen a family gift of the Tim Peake photos book, which I've not told him about.

DD 9 and DS 7 are sharing a wooden marble run as their main gift, there are lots of books and will be clothes too as they have just outgrown lots. Mostly little bits and pieces besides that, will list later :o

Cagliostro · 02/12/2016 00:34

Bank Sushi Go is a fab game :o we play it constantly here.

Thinking about what my DCs are getting other than what I already wrote, it's mostly little things that will go in their stocking if they fit Blush (otherwise they'll be wrapped under the tree instead)

lego bionicle

build a bear voucher
gym leotard/shorts
dino hunt dice game
genkouyoushi paper/pen
zootropolis dvd
dinosaur planet dvd

monet mini puzzle

DS 7

lego bionicle
wooden transformer thingy
knex insect kit
iq splash puzzle
monster cafe card game
cat in paris dvd
blast lab dvd
hokusai mini puzzle
space fact cards
mario pyjamas
story cubes (not sure which)

They are sharing:
various books
history shrinkles
across africa board game
wooden marble run (main santa present)
body construction kit

probably other stuff I've forgotten about Blush I've spent a LOT less than previous years but they still have lots to open I reckon! :) Much of the above is from my parents/grandma, who give me the money - I use some to get presents and wrap/label from them, and the rest goes on their club fees for climbing/dance etc

Cagliostro · 02/12/2016 00:36

SatsukiKusakabe · 02/12/2016 07:40

What magic set have you got yours fixitup? My ds is 6 next birthday and was thinking of this for him Smile

cagliostro I think I might copy and paste some of your list for when mine are a little bit older, I've just been googling bits off it Grin

Cagliostro · 02/12/2016 17:00

:o :o

I love reading other people's lists, ends up expensive though...

FixItUpChappie · 03/12/2016 06:16

Hey Satsuki - I got my 6 yr old a "Fantasma" magic hat trick set and my 4 yr old a Melissa and Doug discovery Magic set. The older Melissa and Doug set looks great but reviews suggested it would be better for an 8 yr old....very tempting looking though.

SatsukiKusakabe · 03/12/2016 17:29

Thank you fixitupchappie. I'll have a look at those. I know it will be something he'd be interested in, but I don't want to get something he'll be frustrated with.
